(ABC News) (Newser) – The White House releases Barack Obama's "Certificate of Live Birth" and ... cut to Donald Trump. He immediately reacted to—and took credit for—the disclosure at a press conference in New Hampshire, where he said that "today I'm very proud of myself because I've accomplished something that nobody has been able to accomplish. I was just informed ... that our president has finally released a birth certificate." He continued patting himself on the back: "I am really honored, frankly, to have played such a big role, in hopefully, hopefully, getting rid of this issue. Now, we have to look at it, we have to see 'is it real? Is it proper?' But I hope it checks out beautifully." So will the Donald make good on his promise to release his tax returns?
